Hey guys.

I've been thinking of painting my s13 as the old paint is pretty well gone.

So I'm wondering if anyone could tell how to set up a spray booth. I've gotten a few tips from mates like putting water down so no dust blows up and keeps the booth humid.

I have a carport I am planning on hanging tarps from.

I know how to do all the prep work it's mainly just setting up the spray booth and not getting over-spray on everything else. What should I use to ventilate it?

Any advice would be great.

PS: I know the paint will probably turn out shit cause I'm not a pro but it's something I want to have a crack at and if I do alright I can think about doing my r33 as well.

It would probably be cheaper and less hassles if you hired a spay booth from a panel shop. I know some do this to reduce the costs of running a spray booth. The worst they can say is no :down:

Yea mate I have thought of that but I would like to go slow and not have to worry about getting the car out of the way or paying for extra hours and I also have a few other cars I might do if the silvia turns out ok.

the biggest issue with home spray booths is that you wont get enough air extraction to remove airborne particles like dust and paint, which will result in poor finish.

but if you must...

Ahhhh thanks funky.

I was thinking of borrowing an exhaust fan from a friend anyway.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
